It pushed boundaries while sending a meaningful message that perplexed but pleased brand enthusiasts and fans. On Twitter, a fan described the collection as "over-the-top."

A large metallic bubble dress made its appearance as the runway show began. Everyone enjoyed the piece and laughed happily as they raised their phones to record it. Anderson then left a message for the audience, which stated:

“I like this idea of a transient moment in time. I’ve been exploring this for several collections. Are we falling into our screens, becoming our phones? I think it’s really like an alternate universe, and there are layers and layers and layers to it. I think it’s probably about realism. I don’t think it’s about futurism. It’s more about a reflection of ourselves somehow.”

A halter neck top made entirely of jumbled old computer keyboard letters appeared next, followed by a short suit in pixellated metallic glitter. Following that, a slew of dresses inspired by shutterstock image galleries paraded down the runway, with prints ranging from fiery sunsets to dolphins and palm trees.

Lastly, a small tribute to Queen Elizabeth II was paid with a basic black tee featuring "Her Majesty The Queen, 1926-2022, Thank you" lettering.
